TypeError: console.log(…) is not a function

2017-09-03 20:12:31

Simply put a semicolon (;) after console.log().


Explanation

The error is easily reproducible like this:

It’s trying to pass function(){} as an argument to the return value of console.log() which itself is not a function but actually undefined (check typeof console.log();). This is because JavaScript interprets this as console.log()(function(){})console.log however is a function.

If you didn’t have the console object you’d see

ReferenceError: console is not defined

If you had the console object but not the log method you’d see

TypeError: console.log is not a function

What you have, however, is

TypeError: console.log(...) is not a function

Note the (...) after the function name. With those it’s referring to the return value of the function.


Respect the ;

All these code snippets result in all sorts of unexpected errors if no semicolons are present:

console.log() // As covered before() // TypeError: console.log(...) is not a functionconsole.log() // Accessing property 0 of property 1 of the return value…[1][0] // TypeError: console.log(...) is undefinedconsole.log() // Like undefined-3-3 // NaN

Another Example

You see the (...) oftentimes with the use of chained methods or chained property accessors:

string.match(/someRegEx/)[0]

If that RegEx isn’t found, the method will return null and the property accessor on null will cause a TypeError: string.match(...) is null — the return value is null. In the case of console.log(...) the return value was undefined.

    Meteor与express结合开发

    Meteor本质上是一个已经公开了连接 http服务器的节点应用程序,这意味着您可以像下面这样定义服务器路由:,如果您坚持使用Express,则可以将Express路由注册为Connect中间件,如下所示:

    fieldset标签做输入框

    比如 vuetify中的 input组件,就用到了fieldset做边框, 这个时候我们想改边框,却找不到border,因为fieldset是靠color来修改边框颜色的。
